Music at St. Dunstan’s presents Greg Smith, trumpet, joined by St. Dunstan’s Music Director Rodney Gehrke, organ, for an ethereal afternoon of duets and solos. Guests are invited to a reception with remarks by the artists at 3 pm, with the concert at 4. Mr. Smith performs at this event as part of his candidacy for the Doctor of Musical Arts degree to be conferred by the University of Washington. Mr. Smith has performed in orchestras, operas, and chamber ensembles across New England, New York, California, and the Pacific Northwest. He has been a featured soloist in the concerti of Haydn, Neruda, Vivaldi, and most recently, Bach’s Second Brandenburg Concerto. He lives in Salinas, where he works as an artistic administrator and performer at the Carmel Bach Festival. The first half of the program features baroque music for trumpet, and traces the early sonata through music of the Italian composers Arcangelo Corelli and Giovanni Buonaventura Viviani, and the Bohemian composer Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber. The second half moves to the 20th and 21st centuries with a virtuoso showpiece by French composer Henri Tomasi and an opera aria adapted from John Adams’ Doctor Atomic. Mr. Gehrke will play three organ-only pieces, interspersed with the trumpet selections: Passacaglia in D Minor by 17th-century composer Dietrich Buxtehude, a work whose multiple modulations have been compared to the waxing and waning of the moon; and Choral Dorien and Choral Phrygien, both by 20th-century French organist and composer Jehan Alain. Both of Alain’s works will showcase the French-influenced colors of St. Dunstan’s Dobson tracker organ, Opus 94. Mr. Gehrke is a concert organist, harpsichordist, pianist, conductor, choir director, teacher, and liturgical musician.   He is a veteran music director at churches and synagogues in the San Francisco Bay Area. As a touring performer, his engagements have included touring with Chanticleer and invited performances from Seoul to Leipzig.
